It is profoundly sad that a white man's concealed carry guns rights is what is getting certain people to finally understand that the US government does not give a shit about laws or rights or lives. This is not a criticism of the victim. This is a criticism of the US's sympathies & priorities.

Renee Good was a mom & a poet; Pretti a nurse; Khalil & Ozturk students. When I think of the assault against democracy in general & the humanities in particular, it’s clear the assault is in part against feminized occupations, the often devalued work of care giving, learning and reading

“You’re so quiet” - everyone
1. I refuse to gossip which I feel like constitutes 70% of human conversation.
2. Silence is beautiful.
3. Small talk bores me.
4. I’m not just going to talk for the sake of talking.
5. I’m involved in my inner world more so than the external one.

I just cleaned my bathroom sink drain & shower drain. Was it gross? Yes. Was it extra gross because I have sensory issues related to long wet seaweedy hair? Yep. Did I still do it? Yuuuuuup. I'm 41, single, & unmarried. Ain't no man coming over with a screwdriver for free
I hate seeing women post things about needing their husband to unscrew the shower drain cover in order to clean hair out of it or shit similar to this... this is what people mean when they say gender roles are social constructs. Women, we can use screwdrivers & pull our own hair out of the drain. 🧵

The way that men can say dumb shit & people understand that they are playing dumb for the sake of joking but if a woman does it she's a dumb bitch who needs things explained to her... what I'm saying is I hate you & stop talking to me

Deep water/oceans terrify me but I still want my remains to be cremated & put in one of those ocean burial pod reef thingies. I've told people this & they're always like "What?? Why?!" What the fuck good is my decaying corpse going to do for anyone?? Motherfucker turn my ass into an ecosystem

I feel self conscious about how big the angle of this picture makes my arm look but Milly is ridiculous so I decided to share it anyway

Social media is so stupid. People will comment all day on things that I don't actually give a shit about but it's crickets when it's something I feel passionate about or if I ask for actual input 🫤

In the same way that shooting Renee Good & then immediately saying "fucking bitch" gave away that Jonathan Ross murdered her because his masculinity felt threatened, not his life
I understand the anger toward Pam Bondi but calling her a bitch while criticizing the legitimately fucked up things she's doing & saying makes it look like the actual reason you're mad is because she dared do any of this while also being a woman

When I tell you that seeing a picture like this in a 90s magazine would have blown my fucking mind... You can literally see the hair follicles on her legs. Like you should when your leg hair is darker than your skin tone... 🧵

Experts 'explaining' when & why officers are trained to discharge their weapons is meaningless & not universal. Law enforcement officers can also go to "Killology" seminars where they are taught that preserving their own life is more important than de-escalating a situation

I know it's not the time for jokes but Stephen Miller writing "flaming the flames" instead of "fanning the flames" is hilarious. We are truly living in the dumbest timeline...

Matt is doing such great work. His honesty, empathy, & sincere desire to understand people & make meaningful change are cornerstones of this work. & it's helping him to create some of the most thought-provoking, hopeful content about the hellscape we're currently living in
i joined matt bernstein to talk to ashley st clair, a mother to one of elon musks babies, who’s since exited the far right movement. we spent this time grilling her talking to her about her past bigotry and what made her change

What the actual fuck. I've already cried today about my friend having to tell her son to carry his birth certificate in case he gets stopped by ICE... I know this is not about me or my feelings but the last 18 months have been relentless in how exceptionally shitty they've been
